Order of event handler execution

If I set up multiple event handlers, like so:

_webservice.RetrieveDataCompleted += ProcessData1;
_webservice.RetrieveDataCompleted += ProcessData2;

what order are the handlers run when the event RetrieveDataCompleted is fired? Are they run in the same thread and sequentially in the order that are registered?

Currently, they are executed in the order they are registered. However, this is an implementation detail, and I would not rely on this behavior staying the same in future versions, since it is not required by specifications.

The invocation list of a delegate is an ordered set of delegates in which each element of the list invokes exactly one of the methods invoked by the delegate. An invocation list can contain duplicate methods. During an invocation, a delegate invokes methods in the order in which they appear in the invocation list.

From here: Delegate Class

You can change ordering by detaching all handlers, and then re-attaching in desired order.

public event EventHandler event1;

public void ChangeHandlersOrdering()
{
    if (event1 != null)
    {
        List<EventHandler> invocationList = event1.GetInvocationList()
                                                  .OfType<EventHandler>()
                                                  .ToList();

        foreach (var handler in invocationList)
        {
            event1 -= handler;
        }

        //Change ordering now, for example in reverese order as follows
        for (int i = invocationList.Count - 1; i >= 0; i--)
        {
            event1 += invocationList[i];
        }
    }
}
